– An opening-up to competition, from 1/01/2020 on competitive activities (TAGV and intercity), and gradually between 2023 and 2039 on the activities covered by the agreements (TER, Transilien).

– The ending of EPIC status for that of SA with public capital.

– A debt assumption of €35bn divided into two tranches, the first on 1 January 2020 (€25bn), the second in 2022 (€10bn).

– Increased productivity efforts at the level of SNCF Réseau SA activity.

In any case, SNCF Réseau: – performs a public sector mission and

enjoys a natural monopoly position with no risk of deregulation;

– has been included on the “Government Related Entity” list by the European commission since 2002 and is eligible for the ECB Public Sector Purchasing Programme.

– SNCF Réseau has been considered as an ODCA since 2019. As such, its debt is consolidated in that of the French State in the terms of Maastricht’s standards.

A CREDIT RISK EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF THE FRENCH STATE

Until 31 December 2019, as a 100% State-owned public entity, SNCF Réseau benefits from the strong support of the French State based on its legal status (EPIC).– As an EPIC, SNCF Réseau: is not subject

to private-sector bankruptcy law;– could only be dissolved by an amending

law transferring its rights and obligations to another public entity.

As a result of the June 2018 railway reform, this situation changed with effect from 1 January 2020.For SNCF Réseau, the main changes are as follows:– The transformation of SNCF Réseau

into a public limited company (SA) with a 100% indirect State-owned and non-transferable shareholding (enshrined in the law).

– The transfer of the Stations & Connections activity (station management) to SNCF Réseau SA.

SNCF RÉSEAU AND THE FRENCH RAILWAY NETWORK

SNCF Réseau owns and manages the French national rail network.

SNCF Réseau’s main responsibilities:– ensuring fair access to the rail network

for 29 rail transport companies and 12 regional transport authorities;

– organising and developing rail traffic: 15,000 trains circulate daily, transporting more than 5 million passengers per day;

– ensuring the maintenance and enhan-cement of the network SNCF Réseau is one of the leading investors in France with 3.0 billion euros invested in 2019;

– ensuring the development of the network.

With its 53,800 employees, SNCF Réseau has generated a turnover of 6.5 billion euros with an operating margin (EBITDA - earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) of 1.9 billion euros and a net result of -0.6 billion euros in 2019.

THE “CLIMATE” BENEFITS OF RAIL IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

In France, rail transport, which accounts for 10% of traffic (freight and passengers), emits less than 1% of all GHG emissions from transport.

BREAKDOWN PER SOURCE OF GHG EMISSIONS (EXCLUDING LULUCF1) IN FRANCE IN 2017

GHG EMISSIONS PER MODE OF TRANSPORT IN FRANCE AS A % (INCLUDING FOD)

Thus, any modal shift from air and road to rail is greatly beneficial to the GHG emissions balance sheet, given that transport in France accounts for close to 30% of total GHG emissions of France (i.e. 134.1 MtCO2eq).

Moreover, the advantages of rail transport are not limited to low levels of CO2 emissions. There are other benefits such as lower air pollution, fewer accidents, optimised use of space, less noise and a lower negative biodiversity impact.

This can be explained by:– the low amount of energy needed

for rail traction (wheel-rail contact vs tyre-road);

– mass-transport; – the high use of electricity (78% of trains

use electric traction), only 8% of which is generated by fossil fuels in France.

Knowing the carbon impact of its activities enables SNCF Réseau to build a prioritised action programme to reduce direct and indirect emissions related to infrastructure works :– By systematically carrying out carbon

assessments: in 2020, SNCF Réseau intro-duced TUVALU, a carbon measurement tool adapted to rail projects;

– By developing eco-design: to reduce the costs and CO2eq emissions of its projects, SNCF Réseau wants to scale its projects to meet its needs as closely as possible.

– By developing the circular economy: infrastructure materials account for the majority of the company’s emissions. To reduce this impact, SNCF Réseau wants to reduce its supply of new products by reusing or recycling its removed products. From 2020, SNCF Réseau will set up a short loop to manufacture new rails from rails that have been removed.

– By speeding up the energy transition of road and rail vehicle fleets: SNCF Réseau is looking for alternatives to combustion engines.

As early as 2015, SNCF Réseau carried out an initial Bilan Carbone® of a track renewal project (RVB) using a «Suite Rapide» factory train (90 kms between Narbonne and Montpellier).

In 2017, a second Bilan Carbone® of RVB was carried out between Gevrey and Sennecey in «Suite Rapide».

Thanks to the emissions avoided by the modal shift, rail transport is an essential contri-butor to the climate policies implemented in France. The positive impact of its activity enables SNCF Réseau to guarantee a «carbon return» on its renovation invest-ments within about 5 years.

Nevertheless, rail network maintenance is an industrial activity, with high CO2eq emissions. SNCF Réseau’s projects require materials whose production and transport are accompanied by significant carbon emissions.

To improve the environmental efficiency of the railway, SNCF Réseau has set itself the target of reducing its energy consumption by 20% and its carbon emissions by 25% over the period 2015-2025.

To achieve this, SNCF Réseau has carried out work to measure its CO2eq emissions from all its activities.This initial analysis made it possible to identify the company’s main sources of GHG emissions:– Manufacturing the materials needed to

maintain and renovate the rail network ;– Activities of the work providers;– Energy consumption of buildings;– Energy consumption of rail and road

vehicle fleets, etc.

To measure the carbon impact of projects eligible for Green Bond funding, SNCF Réseau uses extrapolation values per million euros (m€) invested.

The ratios used for this extrapolation are likely to change from one year to the next, depending on the studies carried out by SNCF Réseau.

The results obtained from this analysis are used to refine the impact calculation methodology by establishing a specific emissions ratio for investments related to Rail Equipment Renewal operations.

This resulted in two new footprint ratios for the work carried out on the track and the catenary.

In 2018, SNCF Réseau carried out the carbon balance sheet of a Rail Equipment Renewal operation at Austerlitz station.

THE SNCF RÉSEAU CARBON APPROACH

Reflecting this policy and CSR strategy, SNCF Réseau is monitored by two extra-financial rating agencies, Vigeo

and ISS ESG, which have awarded it the ratings given in the table below.

The latest ratings reports from these two agencies are available on the SNCF Réseau website.

The rating obtained from Vigeo for the environmental aspect (73/100) is accompanied by the following comment:

“SNCF Reseau’s absolute performance in the Environment domain is advanced, in line with the previous review. The Company’s environmental strategy covers all its responsibilities in terms of environmental protection and comprehensive resources are allocated to environmental management, including ISO 14001 certification covering all its production sites (…). The Company’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions normalised to sales have decreased in the 2016-2018 period (…). Lastly, concerning local pollution, the Company engages with external bodies and

In order to define the most stringent standards in terms of green financing and to thus become a global point of reference in the transport sector, the bond issue launched by SNCF Réseau is in line with the Green Bond Principles 2018 (GBP) and has also been awarded Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) certification, by ISS-ESG.

To reward the exceptional quality of its impact reporting, SNCF Réseau was awarded a Green Bond Pioneer award by the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI) in March 2019. This award recognises the transparency and clarity with which SNCF Réseau communicates with its investors. Already rewarded for its 2016 issue, this is the second award that SNCF Réseau has received for the publication of a Green Bond impact report.

Lastly, SNCF Réseau, as a member of the GBP and the Finance for Tomorrow initiative, by Paris Europlace fully participates in the discussions and market developments of Green Bonds.

SNCF Réseau is also a founding member of the Corporate Forum for Sustainable Business.

The proceeds from this green bond have been used to finance the renovation of the structural network and develop new projects.

In 2019, approximately 55% of SNCF Réseau’s debt issues on the financial markets were in Green Bond format. SNCF Réseau Green Bonds are included in the Barclays MSCI Green Bonds Index.

In 2019, SNCF Réseau, owner and manager of the French rail network, rated AA (S&P) / Aa2 (Moody’s) / AA (Fitch), launched two public issues of green bonds for a total of €2 billion with:– In January, a €500m issue

with a 10-year maturity;– In June, a €1.5 billion issue

with a 17-year maturity.

In addition, in August 2019, SNCF Réseau issued the market’s first centenary Green Bond. It is a private placement of €100m and matures in 2119.

Finally, in 2019, SNCF Réseau issued several of its Green Bonds to the amount of €950m.

These include the following operations in particular:– In April, the ‘2047’ bond was issued

twice for €250m and €100m, followed in September by a €250m subscription;

– In May, June and August, three issues of the ‘2029’ bond for €100m each, followed in August by a fourth issue of €50m.

In line with its commitment to becoming a benchmark on the Green Bonds market, SNCF Réseau has carried out, in less than a year, 10 debt transactions in Green Bond format, for a total amount of €3.05 billion, making it one of the largest 2019 issuers on the Green Bond market in France and worldwide. This is also a record for the company.

Due to their extreme granularity, no projects eligible for Green Bonds in category 3 (biodiversity and natural resources) were selected. Nevertheless, SNCF Réseau funds a very large number of projects every year to protect biodiversity and natural resources.

Moreover, eligible projects in the first two categories generally include provisions for the protection of biodiversity and natural resources.

The 2016 version of the Green Bonds programme (Green Bond Framework) is available on the SNCF Réseau website.

The Second Party Opinion, issued by ISS-ESG, confirms the compliance of the SNCF Réseau Green Bonds framework with the ICMA Green Bond Principles (2018).

The 2019 version of this Second Party Opinion (SPO) is available on the SNCF Réseau website.

Lastly, the SNCF Réseau Green Bonds programme complies with with Low Carbon Transport Eligibility Criteria (V1.0). established by the CBI. Oekom Research is also responsible for verifying the compliance of this alignment on behalf of the CBI. The 2017 version of this certification awarded by ISS-ESG is available on the SNCF Réseau website.

The green bonds issued by SNCF Réseau have the same characteristics as conventional bonds in terms of credit risk.

Nevertheless, they have some additional characteristics in terms of reporting obligations, monitoring the correct allocation of funds to eligible projects and assessment of the environmental impact of eligible projects.

PREPARATION OF THE SNCF RÉSEAU GREEN BONDS PROGRAMME

CLIMATE BONDS

CERTIFIED BOND “ISSUE”

Drawing on best market practices, the framework developed by SNCF Réseau is also based on the 4 pillars structure developed in 2016 by the ICMA Green Bond Principles.

1. The International Union of Railways (UIC) has established a method to classify lines depending on the traffic loads supported by the infrastructure as well as the type of traffic. Group UIC 1 corresponds to lines with very heavy loads, and at the opposite end of the scale, group UIC 9 corresponds to lines with very light loads. The main lines of the French railway network are in UIC groups 1 to 4. The major lines with lighter loads fall under UIC groups 5 and 6. The lines with low loads in the UIC groups 7 to 9 correspond to the regional network in general.

The proceeds of the Green Bond were allocated to investments corresponding to one of the following three categories.

Category 1

Category 2

Category 3

CATEGORIES

OF ELIGIBLE PROJECTS

INVESTMENTS RELATED TO MAINTENANCE, UPGRADE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF THE RAIL SYSTEM

Projects to renovate tracks and traction power supply infrastructure, and signalling system upgrades. The projects eligible for this category necessarily concern investments for the renovation of the core network, consisting of the most used and 100% electrified part of the network (lines in UIC groups 1 à 41).

INVESTMENTS RELATED TO NEW LINES AND LINES EXTENSIONS

Projects related to new lines and line extensions, improving access to the network for passengers and freight mobility. For example LGV Est européenne, LGV SEA, LGV BPL, LGV CNM...

OTHER INVESTMENTS LINKED TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE CHALLENGES, PROTECTION OF BIODIVERSITY AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Projects related to the protection of biodiversity and natural resources surrounding SNCF’s existing network.

STRUCTURE OF THE SNCF RÉSEAU GREEN BONDS PROGRAMME

SNCF-Réseau Green Bonds

Page 13: GREEN BONDS - SNCF

SNCF RÉSEAU GREEN BONDS REPORTING 201924 25

In 2017, SNCF Réseau reviewed the rules for selecting assets eligible to be financed in the second category of the Green Bonds Programme: “investments related to new lines and line extensions”.

From 2018, SNCF Réseau will take into consideration a project’s investments without taking into account any delays in settlement of its grants (acquired grants vs collected grants) to facilitate tracking of net investments over time.

THE ALLOCATION IN DETAIL

The following table shows the allocation of the issuance of Green Bonds for 2019 according to the three eligible investment categories.

Définitions– «Real»: all of the group’s equity investments.– The «Real Green Bonds» scope: amount of investments actually made.– «Green Bonds Allocation»: allocation by category of revenues from the year’s issues.– «To be allocated»: amount of eligible investments not yet financed in 2020.

This situation can be explained by the absence of Green Bonds funding raised on the markets during 2018.

SNCF Réseau has a very large portfolio of projects eligible to be financed by its Green Bonds in 2019 (€3.4bn of projects), so it has not been necessary for SNCF Réseau to invest all the funds raised in 2019 in SRI vehicles (FCPs, SRI SICAVs, bank deposit certificates or bank balances).

DETAILED REPORT PER CATEGORY

In 2019, the FETI* ratio has not changed. The calculation of this ratio is mainly based on a catenary life cycle analysis (LCA) carried out by SNCF Réseau. In order to take into account the CO2 emissions linked to the energy used, the organisation of the worksite and the transport of the materials needed to replace the catenaries, the Catenary ratio uses the data from the RVB reference carbon balance. The modification of the reference RGB carbon balance between 2017 and 2016 has therefore changed the IFTE catenary ratio. The latter increased in 2017 from 86 tCO2eq/€M to 90 tCO2eq/€M.

In 2019, the signalling ratio did not change. The calculation of this ratio is based on monetary emission factors, available on the ADEME carbon base.

Evolution of the avoided emissions ratioThe avoided emissions extrapolation ratio is based on the analysis of the modal shift of financially representative renewal projects.

In 2017, 10 renewal projects were analyzed to construct this ratio. The calculation used an average value for the consistency of the projects analysed. The value of the ratio was 108 tCO2eq avoided/€M. The CO2eq impact of these 10 projects was re-evaluated in 2019 to integrate the real value of the consistency of the operations. In addition, SNCF Réseau expanded its calculation base in 2019 with 16 additional projects. The new extrapolation ratio is therefore calculated on 26 renewal projects. The cumulative amount of these 26 projects is approximately €1.2 billion. The extrapolation value used in 2019 has therefore evolved from 108 to 141 tCO2eq avoided/€M.

In 2020, SNCF Réseau wants to consolidate this ratio by analysing 10 additional projects.

To measure the carbon impact of projects eligible for Green Bond funding, SNCF Réseau uses extrapolation values per million euros (€M) invested. The large number of projects carried out each year does not allow the company to deal with the impact of each project on a case-by-case basis.

Several extrapolation ratios per million euros invested are established to calculate the carbon footprint and carbon avoidance of renewal projects as well as new line projects.

The ratios used for this extrapolation are likely to change from one year to the next, depending on the studies carried out by SNCF Réseau.

Changes in ratios related to the carbon footprintGreen Bonds financing for renewal projects is divided between track, catenary and signalling works.

In 2016, SNCF Réseau produced a first extrapolation ratio for its work, based on the Bilan Carbone® of a track renewal project (RVB) by a «Suite Rapide» factory train (90 kms between Narbonne and Montpellier).

In 2017, the value of the Track ratio was modified compared to 2016, by taking into account the results of the Bilan Carbone® of an RVB operation carried out between Gevrey and Sennecey. The Track ratio has increased from 361 tCO2eq/€M to 456 tCO2eq/€M. This difference of 95 tCO2eq/€M can be explained by a more precise measurement of certain RBV phases.

The carbon assessment carried out in 2018 on the Austerlitz Rail Equipment Renewal operation enabled SNCF Réseau to produce a new emissions ratio and to specify its method for calculating the carbon footprint. This new ratio has a value of 88 tCO2eq/€M invested.

– the calculation of the carbon footprint consists of establishing a summary of Greenhouse Gas emissions resulting from a line renewal or creation project3, according to existing carbon analysis methods.

– the calculation of the emissions avoided by a line renewal or creation project consists of comparing the emissions from the transport system in both scenarios, one without the execution of the project, and the other with it.

As defined in the methodology, the carbon impact of projects financed by Green Bonds is calculated by subtracting avoided emissions from emissions generated by projects.

In order to highlight the positive conse-quences of the projects financed by its issuance of Green Bonds, SNCF Réseau wished to quantify the impact of these projects in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this, SNCF Réseau, in collaboration with Carbone 41, has drafted a specific methodology2 that establishes the principles and method used to calculate the carbon impact of these projects.

The carbon impact is obtained by comparing the carbon footprint (emissions resulting from the project) with the emissions avoided (during the project operation phase):
